As previously noted, beer is delicious. Also, beer is fun. Ergo, a brewery tour with samples will be fun. Also, delicious. If you have the time to go to Baltimore for the day and either have a car yourself (or can convince someone with a car to go have a fun and delicious time with…

It's not New York or San Francisco, but DC has some surprising cultural moments to be discovered. And I'm going to tell you about them. Special attention to free, super cool, or just plain strange events.
Short Films. So short!
I knew that DC has a film festival, but I missed the festival this year. I love short films (especially the ones at the beginning of Pixar films–who doesn’t?), but the price of admission to the festival was a little steep. Imagine my absolute delight when I was walking down H Street after class at…
Lots To Do!
Since apparently it’s summer again (high 92 on the second day of fall), you can continue your summer with some free activities this weekend. If you want to be in some A/C, Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day is on Saturday. That means that besides the already free Smithsonian, there are other museums for the having. Go…
First Day of Fall Means…Oktoberfest
I don’t know if it’s me getting older, but these darn kids keep pushing Oktoberfest earlier and earlier. It’s still too hot to wear lederhosen, for cryin’ out loud! But kids will be kids, and beer is delicious, so let’s dive right in. Capitol City Brewing Company is sponsoring Oktoberfest next Saturday, October 2, in…
It’s OK, We Were on a Break
Sometimes, things are so good that when they finally do come to an end, you think you’ll never love anything again. At least, that’s how it was with me and Spanish food. Some people say Spanish food is simple or too raw and unworked, but those are the things I love about it. The food put…
Everyday Is Museum Day
Once one has lived in DC long enough, she (or he) can become inured to the fact that most of our museums are free. Free! I know this can be obnoxious to those who do not live in DC and are secretly jealous. Well, don’t cry. This Saturday, the 25th, is the Smithsonian Magazine’s sixth…
Crop Mob Makes My Sunday
Crop mobbing. It’s the new thing! No, I haven’t joined a gang. Or a cult. But I have come to a point in my life that allows me to admit the following–I am agricurious. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, please read on. A crop mob is an event which allows a…
The Wilds of Priviledged Suburbia
Having recently had occasion to venture out to the far reaches of the DC area, I return to file this revelation: so THAT’S where all the beautiful, fit, fecund people are hiding out. Potomac! I tell you, it was like being in another world. I can see why this is the go-to spot for going…
People Are Strange
I have something to say. And even I don’t want to hear it. But coming from a group dance class as I have, I have to say: Ladies, do not go to these classes with your friends! You will just annoy everyone else. Maybe I was wishing I had been there with a friend I…
DC Style Is Real
